Abstract

The operational environment for plasma heating systems presents unprecedented challenges for the success of magnetic fusion. This chapter discusses the current state of ion cyclotron and electron cyclotron heating systems and the research and development priorities needed to establish working solutions for these systems. While much progress has been made, there is much more work to be done to make fusion energy commercially viable. Research and development priorities include radiation-resistant structural and plasma facing materials, advanced manufacturing methods, new cooling methods, first-wall integrated actuators, improvements in power source efficiency, higher frequency gyrotrons, and improved overall system reliability.
